Global Architectural Development is headed by design principle Gokhan
Avcioglu who works with a dedicated, international team of architects.
GAD believes that architecture and urbanism are influenced by media,
culture, technological innovations and consumer habits. Over the past 25
years GAD has pioneered a sustainable approach to architecture through a
strikingly wide range of work.

GAD’s success lies in our methodical
research of our clients’ programmatic requirements, our iterative
process of digital and physical modeling. GAD believes that architecture
as a practice relies on understanding historical architecture movements
as well as research and experimentation. GAD has been producing dynamic, innovative concepts and
research. Lead by Gokhan Avcioglu, the dedicated international staff of
GAD takes a "Standard-NON-Standard” approach to create projects that
push architecture forward. The firm’s main office is in Istanbul and has
additional offices in New York, Bodrum and Moscow.

GAD and Gokhan
Avcioglu have designed a wide range of projects from private homes to
urban master plans. While many of our realized projects are highly
recognized public facilities, such as cultural centers and civic
buildings, we have also completed several distinguished private projects
including apartment buildings.
